Fat-Burning Comfort Foods

Believe it or not, some foods that soothe your souls and delight your taste buds, can help you burn body fat and lose weight as well! Here are some of the fat-burning comfort foods:

Hot chocolate

Science has shown that cocoa in hot chocolate contains antioxidants, which can reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body, which causes it to cling to belly fat.

Also, the combination of carbs and protein in hot chocolate can help your muscles recover faster from a tough workout. Furthermore, adding a dash of cinnamon to your hot chocolate could boost its health benefits even more because it contains compounds that prevent storing fat by keeping insulin out of the blood stream.

Collard greens

One serving of this hearty veggie adds up to a mere 46 calories and is packed with more than your daily-recommended doses of vitamins A, K, C, and folate, which can strengthen your immune system and increase metabolism.
